− | AGC: Shorthand for "A Good Cartoon." Basically, you intentionally interpret a comic with a fairly obvious bad message as having a good message. The original point of this was to poke fun at some of the really poor metaphors that some cartoonists were crafting, but the concept of AGC has been run into the ground. If you want to see some quality ones, Saint Sputnik has a blog dedicated to these. | + | AGC: Shorthand for "A Good Cartoon."

| Can't Handle: The thread is known for getting into spats over ridiculous subjects.

| Don't Be Willfully Dense: A line from cartoonist Eric Allie when someone pointed out how stupid his cartoon was. Has become a thread motto of sorts to not be an idiot when interpreting the message of any given cartoon. | | Don't Be Willfully Dense: A line from cartoonist Eric Allie when someone pointed out how stupid his cartoon was.
